Kanye West shares texts with former collaborator Tremaine Emory about late friend Virgil Abloh

Kanye West shared several screenshots from an alleged ‘abbreviated conversation’ with Tremaine Emory to his Instagram account on Friday.

The 45-year-old was previously called out in a post that was shared to the 41-year-old designer’s Instagram account earlier this week, in which he expressed that the rapper did not care about Virgil Abloh and spoke negatively of him prior to his death.

The Stronger rapper went on to defend himself in the alleged conversation and remarked that he was a great admirer of the late fashion industry figure and was ‘jealous’ of what he achieved during his career, even as he lambasted his fashion designs in the same conversation.

Letting everyone see: Kanye West shared several screenshots from an alleged ‘abbreviated conversation’ with Tremaine Emory to his Instagram account on Friday. The rapper, 45, who was called out by Emory earlier this week, defended his ‘love’ of his late friend Virgil Abloh, even while blasting his designs

Emory was said to have started the conversation and began by criticizing West for his conduct during the final stages of Abloh’s life.

The rapper expressed that, although he ‘hated Virgil’s designs,’ his former collaborator felt the same way, and that he was never informed with certainty that the designer was battling cancer.

The Bound 2 songwriter also wrote that he ‘scrame at Virgil, I was jealous of Virgil, I felt betrayed and lied to by Virgil [sic],’ although he clarified that he also had ‘love’ for the late fashion industry figure.

When speaking about the designer’s private funeral, he wrote that he ‘wanted to grab the mic’ and send a message about reconciliation to A$AP Mob members A$AP Rocky and A$AP Bari.

The supermodel, 27, recently commented that Ye was ‘a bully’ after he lashed out at Vogue editor Gabriella Karefa-Johnson when she called his White Lives Matter merchandise presented during Paris Fashion Week ‘violent’ and ‘dangerous.’

The Heartless singer shared the short clip onto her Instagram story, with a previous caption on the video that read, ‘i’m sorry gigi but this is the one of the funniest videos i’ve ever seen.’

Azealia, known for hit songs such as 212, could be heard stating directly to the camera, ‘Gigi Hadid, you are not the doll. Bella Hadid is the doll.’

The singer continued by adding, ‘You’re the cabbage patch. She’s the Barbie. You’re the cabbage patch.’

At the end, she referenced to the Brady brunch characters. ‘She’s Marcia and you’re Jan.’

Kanye himself didn’t add any further caption to the reposted TikTok video, but earlier Friday via his Instagram, he also called the model a ‘Karen’ and typed, ‘YOU WERE BORN WITH A SILVER SPOON IN YOUR MOUTH YOURE A ZOMBIE.’

The following day, the fashion designer lashed out at Vogue contributing editor, Gabriella Karefa-Johnson, after she called out his behavior as ‘indefensible’ and that the merchandise was both ‘dangerous and violent.’

Ye also shared a photo of the Vogue writer, writing that she was ‘not a fashion person.’

After sharing a text message exchange on his Instagram page in which a person named Mowalola was asking him to ‘not insult’ the Vogue editor, Gigi jumped to the comments.

The model, who personally has worked with Gabriella in the past, wrote, ‘You wish u had a percentage of her intellect. You have no idea haha.’ She concluded by calling him both ‘a bully’ and ‘a joke.’

‘I WONDER WHAT GIGI AND VENUS’S PERESPECTIVES WERE WHEN I DIDN’T KNOW WHERE MY CHILD WAS ON HER BIRTHDAY,’ he wrote, referencing to drama revolving around daughter, Chicago, and his claims that Kim refused to let him see their child on her fourth birthday.

He then referenced that himself and Gabriella had a discussion in the past regarding the birthday situation. ‘Gabby told me that she disagreed with that.’

Gigi then prompted to leap back into the comments to correct the rapper. ‘It’s Gabriella.’

Khloe also added herself into the feud, defending her sister. ‘Ye, I love you. I don’t want to do this on social media but YOU keep bringing it here. You are the father of my nieces and nephews and I’m trying to be respectful but please STOP tearing Kimberly down and using our family when you want to deflect.’

One of the guests, Jaden Smith, son of Will Smith, shared a tweet expressing that he had walked out of the show.
